My thoughts for today...
Teach them to appreciate the littlest of things. Everyday is a new day to learn and to explore. They won't remember Angry Birds so much when they've grown into human beings as they are but they will remember the fun, their first swing ride, the bloody knee after a fall, how the fish food stinks when held in their tiny hands, the scratches from walking around wild flowers, how the dreadful clown looks like on a kiddie party, how the balloon pops scaring them to pieces, their first carousel ride, the stories you make up and how they love for you to repeat them over and over again,a doctor's visit and the afternoon well spent with people they call family.
Take time to let them see what life is all about. They might not know it just yet, but you're trying to help them become better human beings. You are molding them to stand up on their feet when the going gets tough.
Stop and smell the flowers.
Parenthood is not just about DNA.
It's about LOVE.
